How does one go about signing up for one of these Roving Chess Gangs?

[-] Kanda@reddthat.com 15 points 4 days ago

It's rowing Chess gangs, kinda like Chess boxing, but on a boat

I came here to en passant and kick ass... And I'm already on the 5th rank.

What's en passant?

[-] CoffeeSoldier@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

If you have to ask you are not chess gang material.

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Play the Bongcloud against a chess hustler in Central Park. Winning optional.

Roving Chess Gangs rule!

Roaming chess gangs got me surprised and hilarious thinking of stereotyped " chess nerds" going around as gangs.

I misread as chessboards are filled with blood and liquid which paints a violent picture of the chess battles

Your comment made me take another look. You're right, it's food, not blood. Got fooled by my reading abilities again

Glad I wasn't the only one

I think the roaming chess gangs were walking around looking for people using the London system

This was my school. We had a large group playing chess at lunch (partly because the library was the only air-conditioned building in the school that students could access).

Stoned chess was quite fun though....

Just no respectful.

If your students are obsessed with chess (ick) then leave them be, they'll either be geniuses or homeless, either way, beyond the scope of your schools ability to cope.

theyll either be geniuses or homeless

Dont sell them short, they could be both
